Jan Juc’s streets are defined by an eclectic mix of homes, each adding to the unique character of this much-loved coastal pocket.

Many remain tucked away until the market brings them to light. The latest offering at 11 Barnett Place is one such hidden gem, now revealed by Natural Real Estate.

Tucked at the edge of Jan Juc Creek Reserve at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this Lachlan Shepherd-designed home instantly feels like a place to belong. Created to connect effortlessly with its surrounds, the architecture brings the outdoors in through every detail.

 

A refined, mid-century aesthetic blends warm timber, expansive glass, natural stone and soaring ceilings, echoing the raw beauty of the landscape beyond.

Natural Real Estate’s Shaun O’Callaghan said that this striking home has just one neighbour, offers incredible privacy and backs directly onto the reserve.

 

“It feels like you’re in your own little bush retreat, but with the bonus of being only a short walk to the shops and the beach,” Mr O’Callaghan said.

“Homes in this tightly held pocket of Jan Juc are rarely offered; it’s truly something special!”

 

If you delight in home cooking then you will love the light-filled, entertainer’s kitchen, with premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, stainless-steel benchtops and a stylish granite-topped island bench.

The open-plan living zone and versatile rumpus flow to a deck and travertine-paved entertaining area, surrounded by native gardens – it’s your own private sanctuary with hidden access to Jan Juc Reserve.

 

There is a serene master suite with walk-in robes, electric blinds/windows and a chic ensuite, along with a second bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robes, plus a third bedroom serviced by a bright bathroom with a luxe stone bathtub.

High-end finishes throughout include plush wool carpet, blackbutt timber floors, ducted heating, ceiling fans, custom cabinetry and abundant storage.

 

Designed with passive solar principles, eco eGlass windows, water tanks, 6.6kW solar system, car charger and 6 biofilter wicking beds supporting thriving veggie and herb gardens. Beautifully landscaped with a heated outdoor shower, mature fruit trees, firepit area and a handy storage room for surfboards, bikes and more.

Tucked in a quiet enclave, offering pure privacy and tranquillity, just a short stroll from Jan Juc Village and pristine beaches.
